Satin is done!
Well, the knitting is. Unfortunately, the weather has been too crappy to block her yet. I prefer a full wet block, but if the weather doesn't improve, I'll just do a steam block. Unfortunately our house is too small to lay anything out for any length of time. Usually I leave things to block on our bed, or on the floor, but if it takes too long to dry, it ain't pleasant sleeping with the smell of wet wool.
So I had to decide what comes next. Em chose the "Pink Pullover" from Vogue Teen Knits around a year ago, and I have the yarn, so I decided on that.

It's made in Lion Brand "Imagine", which is 20% mohair and 80% acrylic, but Em loves it. It's a bit sheddy, but apart from that, it ain't all bad to knit with. Especially seeing as I only started it yesterday, and this morning I had this.

It's also not as scratchy as I thought it'd be. I am finding that I'm dropping stitches though. I was expecting crappy yarn something like the true crap we get here in Australia! It ain't Lorna's, but it's pink and fuzzy, and that's all Em cares about :)
It is the recommended yarn, and I surprised myself by getting gauge. We are making a slight adjustment to the pattern - I'm not keen on the idea of putting metal studs in my knits, so I'm going to do a white intarsia star on the front instead.
Twinkie has this thing about following me around when I'm sweeping up her dinner spills. (She's a somewhat enthusiastic eater - she likes to try to get into the bowl in her excitement) Took a while to figure out what she was doing, until we found that she likes the broom.

Please ignore the thick ankles and unwaxed legs! I told you I had tree trunk ankles ;)
Em also got new bunny slippers. Twinkie likes those, too.

And speaking of the Empress, she lost a tooth.

She has a friend coming to sleep over tonight, so I don't think any of us will get much sleep!
